Fiancee visa or not

[aussiewench 9]

They keep giving waivers for all kinds of breaking the law. Why should a J-1 adjust status? They should return to their country as they promised right? In my opinion, they need to ban unmarried J-1s from coming here.

No wonder the US population is now 300 million. It will soon be 400 million.

How is it breaking the law when one has entered the US legally

Because they say they will go back after they are done with what brought them here. Instead, they come here and just marry gullible Americans and then adjust to stay here. I think they need to get sureties who will gurantee that they will go back home, if they cannot get the single ones to marry first before they can get a J-1. Whats wrong with that proposal?

Am just tired of the US population growing so fast everyday..

So they should change the requiremtens for the J1? That is bull. Most J1s are trainees or Aupairs and then they have to change the laws there too, since you cannot be married for that (at least not for Aupair). Not all J1s get married while they are in the US. Most of them return to their home country.

Its ALL who should return, not MOST.

Yes, the rules should be changed because there seems to be a loophole being taken advantage of.

You could go ahead with the wedding and then only file for AOS from the USA. That would mean that you do not have to return to your home country prior to the wedding. However, make sure you are not under the 2year home requiremt rule.

2 year requirement of meeting dont apply if your married at the time of filing.

It is not actually breaking the law either. Some countries are FORCED out, probably because the country of origin for those J-1s are not in good terms with the US. It was never breaking the lawx for Australians to go back down-under. Indonesians, however, must and so do many other countries.

As far as I am aware it is country of origin based as to who needs to return and who does not.

@Zanzinger. You didnt have to write a statement that you will return to your home country after your trainee programm is over? I had to do it so I guess I was one of the 'forced out' one's.

Its just a scam. Promise you will return, get allowed in and then come here and get some naive person who has never had attention all their life, blow up their ego and smother them with warmth and at the right time, run away from them.

2 year home residency rule that applies to J-1 visa holders is completely different to the 2 year requirement of having met that one must show when filing a fiance petition. I think you got a bit muddled there darlin'

matako, not everyone has your courtship experience. Don't be bitter, I'm sure there's a nice strapping young man who will take care of you and love you for the troll that you are!

To the OP: if your J-1 doesn't have conditions on it that require you to leave, you should be able to marry and adjust status, but it might be worth a consultation with a lawyer. If your J visa is attached to a university (wasn't clear from your post), the international students' center probably will have someone there who can advise you more precisely on what you need to do. (Quite a lot of people meet their spouses in college, both American-American relationships and otherwise, so most universities are used to visa questions of this sort and some of them have counselors there for that purpose.)

Maybe you are a naive person. If you petitioned a K-1 for a foreign fiance(e), well im really sad for her/him that you think stuff like that. You shouldnt deserve that somebody leaves all his family, friends and country to be with you. And if you have something against people that are immigrating in the US, why do you even bother with a K-1.....

I will never get how some people think sometimes. But yeah , you are just a f....troll that tries to create conflicts on this board and I've no idea why I even bothered replying to you, I guess it just feels good to write what I think.

I wish your fiance(e) will wake up before its too late!

Maybe he's made a a bad mistake...once....
